Gastrono-me in St Edmundsbury

The decor is sublime, the staff friendly and the food is unusual. I will return.Some curious food choices on the menu, but the burger was super tasty. My dining companion did not enjoy their meal and left a sizeable amount. It was a pleasant surprise that the waiting staff discounted the partially eaten meal by 50%, proactively and without suggestion from us. Very cool

Fantastic experience at Gastronome. I have been coming here for many years whenever I visit Bury St Edmunds. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The food doesn't take long to arrive once ordered and the selection of drinks is amazing! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Bury!

It was just okay. But I wouldn’t recommend it.TLDR: The environment was nice enough, the staff were friendly, the menu looks nice and full, and it was easy to make a reservation through Google. But the food was disappointing, it isn’t really accommodating for vegetarians (unless you’re OK with eliminations instead of substitutions), and it’s expensive for what you get.Here’s the long version:• "Veg option available" is misleading. We ordered a “Hangover Stack” (pancakes, bacon, fried egg, maple syrup) for one person in our party and asked to make it vegetarian. But instead of substituting the bacon for something vegetarian, they just left it out of the dish while still charging the full £10.95. If they could’ve added grilled mushrooms or halloumi or something (which is on another part of their menu), it wouldn’t have cost them much and would have been a better customer experience.• Just don’t get the pancakes. Mine were presented nicely but were disappointingly dense and hard. Seriously, the entire top pancake and the edges of each of the others were hard enough that I literally crunched through them. It felt as if they were made with whole wheat and had been sitting out (and yet it didn’t arrive as soon as I ordered it?). I asked for additional maple syrup since what it came with got soaked up by the pancakes, and they charged me £0.95 for it. (Not great considering the previous bullet point.)• The portions are small but pricey. The only reason why this is a negative thing for me is because so many people online and offline have raved about this place having big portions that cater to Americans (because of the nearby Air Force base). Go somewhere else without a fancy name and you’ll get much better quality and value for money.• Coffee/tea was not refillable. OK, I admit this one is just a preference for me: I like American brunch places that have boring ol’ drip coffee in a big mug that gets refilled by waiters when ever they see it empty. That would have made for a more brunch-y experience rather than an expensive café experience.All in all, if you’re looking for a place that (a) serves really tasty brunches, (b) with large portions (c) that are good value for money, and (c) offers free coffee refills when ever you want… you’d be better off going to Frankie & Benny’s. They’re formulaic but at least you don’t leave still a little hungry and dissatisfied with the food.

Great breakfast, really tasty. Coffee to me was the only let down. Service was great and Rick really did a great job of welcoming us.

Burger was very good. Chips pretty standard. Cocktails nice. It was just very expensive. No deals on the cocktails so you really we're spending £9-£11 per one. Didn't say beers were only 330ml which was disappointing (when £5). Food was very expensive too considering.Staff not very attentive. Slow service and not very friendly (apart from one guy who was good).It was okay. Probably won't go back though.

Fantastic breakfast. First time here and loved it, will be back! They also offer a bottomless brunch which looks good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really good atmosphere. A slow start on service as it took a little while to get their attention but they 100% made up for it when they took our order and it was spot on after that. Really lovely & friendly team and even our dog was welcome.Great menu, spoilt for choice and they gave out a good kids pack to keep my 4 year old happy!Food was delicious and very well presented. We will definitely be back and Really really enjoyed our family lunch. Make sure you book as they were super busy, Thanks so much. See you again soon x

Three words for this place. IT'S A MUST!! If your in the area and second guessing whether you should try a bite here. Well definitely go and do it. The staff are very accommodating I recommend calling to reserve a table because it does get busy. Now the restaurant, it's so vibrant and welcoming. The drinks and food are next level. I tried there candy floss mimosa and this was pure deliciousness. For my mains I had there #gastrono-me hash and Toasted Banana Bread. I was blown away at how flavorful there hash was. Every bite just had a bit more of that bread soaked with all that mouth-watering goodness. Next, the toasted Banana bread let's say just wow. It's very moist, colorful and the hints of mint and flowers just add the bit of love you didn't think it needed. Finally the review. For a place as unique and stunning with exquisite food I will be rating it a 9.7 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. For future travel and food adventures follow my Instagram @officialgetfresh

What a place! A great spot to come and enjoy some really nice food. Interesting menu with different twists of some traditional dishes. Highly recommended, will come again.

Absolutely delicious food and cocktails! The burgers were amazing. We did wait about 40mins for food to arrive, but we were out for a chilled lunch so it didn’t bother as at all. Will definitely go back.
